So I was at Best Buy the other day, buying a couple of DVDs with a gift card from Xmas that I came across. I stumbled upon this Halo 2 Preview Pack they’re selling there, a box with an XBox controller and a Halo 2 non-playable demo disc, and some Best Buy coupons for $9.99. “Heck,” I said to myself, “even if it’s a cheap controller and a non-playable sucky demo, it’s probably still worth $10.”

Here’s the thing: it’s not. The “nonplayable demo” isn’t even really a demo — it’s a DVD. And the controller is so awful, just holding it in my hands makes me feel like a loser. And the coupons are all for XBox titles from two years ago. So yeah, I got ripped off by Best Buy.
